The reason is given in Numbers ch.20. Moses struck the rock which was, by a miracle of God, made into a source of water (Numbers ch.20). He was supposed to speak to the rock instead (ibid). Striking the rock served to slightly diminish the miracle. Aaron shared responsibility for this, because he was standing right there and could have reminded Moses what to do or not do, as he had done on a different occasion (Leviticus ch.9).
It should be self-understood that this criticism of Moses and Aaron is only in proportion to their greatness.

Israel and the promised land?
Exactly what are you asking? If you're asking where the promised land is, it is part of present-day Israel. If you're asking if they ever got it, yes they did. Why is it being battled over now? God only knows that. He could possibly be punishing his people for sin, but the thing is that even though the Muslims may be fighting the Israelis for some pieces of the Promised Land, they have not taken it, and I don't believe they ever will. At least not until it comes time for them to.
